Whistle-blower: VA deaths were covered up - CNN.com
This bad story is turning out much worse than anyone could have imagined...
At CNN.com, Scott Bronstein, Drew Griffin and Nelli Black report on the Veterans Administration:
"Records of dead veterans were changed or physically altered, some even in recent weeks, to hide how many people died while waiting for care at the Phoenix VA hospital, a whistle-blower told CNN in stunning revelations that point to a new coverup in the ongoing VA scandal.
'Deceased' notes on files were removed to make statistics look better, so veterans would not be counted as having died while waiting for care, Pauline DeWenter said.
DeWenter should know. DeWenter is the actual scheduling clerk at the Phoenix VA who said for the better part of a year she was ordered by supervisors to manage and handle the so-called 'secret waiting list,' where veterans' names of those seeking medical care were often placed, sometimes left for months with no care at all."
